Portege Z830 - restoration and reconstruction

I have a Portege Z830 who plays up!.

I tried to load on the main drivers of function and a few other utilities toshiba to get the lit keyboard, IE helps high and low BRIGHTNESS keys. It did not work.

Since then, my laptop takes centuries start, I can't use windows update, it crashes and he asks me my password but I can not enter as it crashes again.
If I use windows troubleshooting tool, which weighs too much. And internet Explorer within the win8.1 does not even the bbc.

I'm close enough to think that I have to do a full rebuild.

My challenge is that it is installed with Windows 7 and I have upgraded to windows 8 and 8.1.

My questions are:
1. everyone knows what precedes and is there quick ways to solve the above problems.
2. What is the best way to rebuild my laptop, I have to go back to windows 7 and then upgrade to windows 8 again?

Ideas gratefully received, I'm ok, reconstruction not eager not to there because it takes forever to backup and restore, and I must be missing something. But I think its necessary.

As far as I know that the Portege or Satellite Z830 series was not supported to win 8.1 by Toshiba because he did not appear in the Windows 8.1 compatibility matrix.

This means also to win 8.1 drivers or software for this series isn't available and not downloadable. This could be the reason why you n t get some special features for laptop.

From my point of view of a few you might try to fix the Win 8.1 preinstalled using the repair feature s own system. If this doesn t help, I'm afraid, you need to restore the system of m.

Are you what is the best way to rebuild the laptop?
Well, it depends on the operating system.

The Portege Z830 was pre-installed with Win 7. In this case the use of the Toshiba recovery disc install Win 7 again.
If you want to reuse 8.1 Win, you have two choices: either you would update the Win 7 system-> 8-> 8.1 Win Win
Or you buy the Win 8.1 Microsoft license and install own 8.1 win on this laptop.

But as I said above: the drivers Win 8.1 and the software isn't available for this model

  • Calibration Portege Z830-10F and battery

    I have a problem with the Portege Z830-10F battey.

    With no alert, closing down and when to start the load at the level start at 51%.

    In an hour, the charge is complete.

    There is a method to calibrate the battery?

    Best regards.
    Nicola

    > There is a method to calibrate the battery?

    The battery can be calibrated to unload the battery until it is completely empty and then until the battery indicator would turn to green (in some cases blue). This indicates that the battery has been recharged.
    This procedure should be repeated several times in the line.

    But be careful: even if you would calibrate the battery, it might be possible that the battery would not provide the same performance due to the age of the battery.

    Sooner or later each battery began to lose the performance load and in such a case, it s just a matter of time, when the battery needs to be replaced.

    The 120 GB SSD Kingston is visible in the BIOS, updated automatically in AHCI mode (no option to change).

    Where did you see the SSD in BIOS?
    If it is stated on the first page of the BIOS, including the name of readers and other details such as the size of the SSD?
    If the SSD drive is recognized properly, there must be another question, why the system requires drivers.

    I m wondering what camera you used to install Windows 7.
    Boot you from external CD/DVD USB drive or did you use the USB flash memory key to install the Win 7 OS?

    The point why I m asking is one of the key flash memory forum members used USB to reinstall the Win 7 OS on the same model of laptop, and it was not possible because the USB flash memory stick has been connected to the USB 3.0 port.

  • Screen turns black and shuts off when wakes up Portege Z830 - 11M

    Hi all

    Anyone know what could be the reason for the screen goes black and turns off when the laptop wakes up?
    The laptop is Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11 M W7HP, purchased in September.

    The problem started shortly after I bought the laptop, but gradually began with a period of 1-2 seconds black screen whenever I tried to wake the portable computer of fashion 'sleep'. He didn't look like a regular part "blackout" of the wake-up process so I just tried to ignore it, but it started to happen more often recently. It got really worse after two months of use and the black screen two or three times until I'm at the login screen. The error was also difficult to re-create because it was random. Sometimes, the screen went black once sometimes twice or just blinked for a fraction of a second.

    Yesterday, I worked during the day and at night it turned really bad. The screen went black several times, whenever I went back to work after a short break.
    I changed the laptop off when I'm done, but when I turned back on it in the morning, the screen was just black. I tried to use the touchpad, but it is only the screen on the gray.

    Can anyone suggest what to do?

    So finally that cannot start the laptop is Hmm normal?
    It would be interesting to know if this help:
    -Battery adapter and ac removal
    -Press and hold power button do this for 30 sec
    -Then reconnect both sides.
    Turn on the laptop?

    If this is not good enough, you're in trouble I guess its hardware related issue and in this case you must service help

  • Portege Z830: I want to disable internal LCD and use only the external monitor

    I have a Toshiba Portege z830.
    I use my laptop in "Extended desktop", mode with an external monitor, which is the main display.
    In this mode, the two screens are still on, but I want the built-in LCD screen to be opened only when I use it.

    Is this possible?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, this is not possible.
    In extended mode, you use and display internal but extended and the long part is visible on the external monitor.
    In such a case its any that your external monitor is set as main display.

    If you want to use an external monitor only, you can only export the video signal on external monitor by pressing FN + F5

  • Portege Z830 - screen broke and I need to replace

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen broke and I need to replace it.

    Is it possible to install an IPS display instead of the original LTN133AT25-601? What IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?

    Hello

    The original LCD that has been used in Z830 was a 13.3 TFT color LCD "(HD) 1366 x 768."
    So if you want to use any other presentation, then you should pay attention to the size of the screen and the connectors.
    I think these are the most important key elements.

    My new Portege Z830 has the issue of noisy fan and almost always running which has been said here before.

    Recommendations were that we download bios 1.6. But I checked and that the version is already installed on my machine. I also adjusted the power save mode battery parameters as others have suggested. But that made no difference,

  • Portege Z830: None buttons FN and fingerprints after Win 8 upgrade

    I have a Portege Z830 PT224V with windows 7 64 bit... I went for the upgrade of Windows 8, but get as error "/ windows Explorer is not responding", I decided to clean up the computer and start again.

    I chose a "all delete and reinstall Windows" option in windows 8, which is used when things do not work. By doing this, I got a new installation of windows and eliminate errors.

    Now my 'Portege Z830' specificities as finger print scanning and other controls of forces nouvelles (Fn F6 and F7 to control brightness and all other functions) don't work anymore.

    I tried to download the drivers but seems that they do not enter the set of drivers.
    Is there a way I can back the controls? Maybe some tools or something?

    Simply put: a USB 3.0 port does not work but the other USB 2.0 works correctly.
    Right?
    > because one day before, I had a moment really difficult mounting a USB flash and may have damaged connectors.
    This could be possible, perhaps that damage you it to the other hand, I recommend to check the Device Manager if all USB ports are recognized.

  • Portege Z830 - Unable to create recovery media

    I'm trying to create a recovery media on my portege Z830 with the "toshiba recovery media creator.
    Unfortunetely, it says "no zone of restaurants on the disc": the only thing I did was to create an inactive partition with Windows Disk Manager.
    I checked, the recovery partition exists.
    With the warranty, will I receive a free restore DVD?

    > the only thing I did was to create an inactive partition with Windows Disk Manager.
    That of the problem. Pre-installed application is designed to find the recovery image on specific position using what is called markers.
    Now the application is confused and can't find it.

    Why didn t ask here what you can do until you have made the decision to change something?

    To get the disc for free? I put t know if it will work. Problem is that your obligation is to read s operating manuals and learn about your new product, before changing anything.
    You can try to contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help. That's all that I can say at the moment.

  • Portege Z830-M110 - need to make an ISO of my Windows 7 - How to file?

    Hello world

    Would you please let me know for the OEM to Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege Z830-M110, how can I make ISO file?
    I need to reinstall my Windows on a new SSD. I need to remove the current one and re-install WIndows again. I need to have the Windows CD that I don't have. My Windows is pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I bought in 2012-2013.

    I noticed that I can browse "Toshiba Media recovery Creator". I have the file on my laptop but it is not installed. I went through the drivers, but there is no software to download and install to make this option active. I noticed there is a download of the utility on the Australian website with 2.1.5.5109 version for PT225A - 00400G rather than my PT224E-01001YAR and I do not know if I have to install that!

  • Portege Z830-10N Windows 10

    Hello

    I see it on the table to display Toshiba Portege Z830-10N is not able to be upgraded to Windows 10 why is - this? The laptop is not that old, and the system is quite high spec as far as I know. I tried yesterday and it has been initialized to offshore, but without any reason. Can someone let me know why?

    I thank... Paul

    Have Z830.

    Recently upgraded to Win10 after invitation to Microsoft to improve the system. The process was smooth, but in the end got 5 unknown devices in the system, including Web camera. So goodbye video Skype.
    More functional keys work but only OSD system (windows) are displayed - don't know how power 3D modem for example.

    First impression of Win10 - no real advantage compared to Win7.
    If not find a solution for my problems in 1-2 months - will return to the registered system.

    Someone managed with 10 windows on Z830?

    Good luck

  • USB 3.0 issues with Portege Z830 & Renesas electronic drivers

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Portege Z830. Until today I have use any pendrive USB 3.0 external. I bought a Kingston HyperX, but when I try to use it, the port recognizes the drive, but disappears in a few seconds...

    Also when I use a port USB 2.0 back, it displays the unit, but it cannot read the contents of the USB drive.

    I checked in internet forums, and I see similar cases, but not a clear solution...

    More information:

    1. the disc works if I restart windows on SafeMode (Windows 7-64 bit)
    2. the disc works on other computers (without electronic drivers Renesas).

    I think it's a problem of Renesas electronic drivers, but I've updated, installed the modern version, power usb change, etc. but no solution...

    This ultrabook is an expensive appliance, as well as the USB key, and of course, this should be a solution...

    Thank you for your help

    Hello

    I downloaded the latest 2.1.28.0 USB 3.0 v driver available from the Toshiba UE driver page.
    The fichiers.ini (64 bit driver) contains information that this USB 3.0 host controller driver is developed by Renesas Electronics Corporation.

    I read a lot about the problems of USB 3.0 as part of different devices to USB 3.
    The questions are not related to a specific manufacturer for laptop or device in most of the cases it s a compatibility issue between the two devices, I think that's most of the time impossible to test all USB 3.0 flash drives, HARD drive, etc. with different controllers USB 3.0 for compatibility problems always seems

    I found a 3rd party page where you can find a few other drivers USB 3.0 of Renesas and NEC. But the use of these drivers is at your risk and perils do not know if they work properly.
    http://www.station-drivers.com/page/Renesas.htm

    I think you might have to force windows to use the specified driver, then first choose "Browse my computer dethrone" and then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". ». This must be done in the Device Manager.

    Would be interesting to know how it works

  • Portege Z830 - shortage of battery after installation of Win8

    Hi all
    recently I have install windows on my laptop and put 8 to update drivers using the assistant, but I noticed that the battery life has decreased about 7 hours for about 3.5 hours. All the drivers do not work properly and I am using eco mode all the time but I still get a very bad battery life.

    This difference in very big s battery operation.
    Are you sure that you will get 7 hours battery still works if you return to Win7 64 bit?

    I did other tests: on my machine Win8 I ve installed Win7 64 bit and there is not much difference in the battery operation. I put t really know what can be the problem.

    I hope some other owner Portege Z830 can say something more about it.
